Am thinking of putting them on my 93-K1100LT and would like to hear both sides.
Thanks in advance.

The throttle will tighten or become harder to turn when you have the heated grips on.
To get the Throttlemeister to hold correctly, you will have some drag on the throttle return when the bike is cold. It has to be tight enough so that if you hit a bump it won't allow the throttle to close. Yes, I change gloves, adjust the zippers on my jacket, etc. This isn't a big issue on a K bike, but with the engine braking of a twin, it will slow you down fast.

If it is drilled - it's the best $7 you'll spend. I'd find it hard to ride a K bike without one. I have mine set for neutral throttle - it stays where I set it. Takes all the hold-open pressure off my wrist and makes it easy to modulate the engine.
See them on Ebay once in a while - brand new - one dealer sells out stuff that's apparently old or overstock on'debay..
Best,
MarkF said:I had one, hated it. Set it up to be comfortable on the highway but when your in town or parking lots when you turn to one side the palm of your hand will rev the throttle. That's a bad thing if the clutch is out. I've since bought a euro throttle housing and the flip-lever throttle lock for my Roadster. If you still want a throttle rocker I'll give you mine for the price of shipping it to you.

That's even a waste of $7. Find the proper size O-ring and put it between the throttle grip and the bar end. Some folks put a nylon zip-tie around the O-ring to ease the removing of it when they don't want to use it. Me, I just roll up up and onto the grip for safe keeping until I want to use it again.
F650s have a great feature in that the O-ring for the dipstick is the perfect size.

I use the lock ALL the time. It is never off. It is always adjusted for a neutral throttle - something that is hard to difficult to do with an O ring. The screw allows a very precise adjustment (it's actually a spring loaded nylon plunger that does the drag). And I'll say again "it's the best $7 you'll spend."
